    Post Balakot Panic: India using Israeli guided missile against Kashmiri Civilians at LoC

    That's not the TOW's serial number, but the batch serial number of the control unit. If you don't find the discarded control unit, you wont find that number on a TOW missile. TOW missiles themselves don't have serial numbers. Then let's debate. I was in the USMC for over a decade, I've seen...

    Post Balakot Panic: India using Israeli guided missile against Kashmiri Civilians at LoC

    Was the tube discovered? Individual TOW missiles don't have serial markings, just the tubes. Unless the tube was found too not seeing a serial number or manufacturer's markings is normal. That's likely a TOW too. While not as pronounced as the aft end of a Spike missile, some TOWs do show...

    Which air defense system is the best?

    JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

    It's not Technical Escort Unit. That particular TEU was a one-of-a-kind US military unit used for transporting CBRNE materials and equipment and responding to crisis involving nuclear, biological, radiological or nuclear materials, so definitely not what Damen, a ship maker, was referring to...

    Did the US Marines just purchase land launched Tomahawk cruise missiles for the Western Pacific?

    Return of the Gryphon! I wonder what type of launcher they'll use? Will it be mobile or static?

    JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

    Heavy naval steel or aluminum. These things weigh a ton (not literally, but it takes a couple large men to lift one). Yes. They're designed to safely protect ordinance, let it sink, then detonate an on-board charge to safely dispose of the munition or if they don't have a disposal charge, let...

    Hows the gaming performance of the Threadripper? I've heard good things about their workstation performance, but mixed reviews on their gaming capabilities versus legacy i7. Your experience?

    Account approval request/thread

    1) Tell your interests? Varied and variable. I guess we'll see what they evolve into while I'm here. That should be fun. 2) How did you find us? I know a few other members on this forum, some older and no longer here, some that still post. All I've met elsewhere, but I became a lurker here to...
